WebP vs PNG: which one to use
Features explained
Side-by-side preview
Shows the original WebP and the converted PNG together with their sizes in KB. This helps you spot a wrong size or a bad crop before downloading. The preview boxes are small, so fine detail is easier to judge after you open the downloaded file.
Output quality slider (10% to 100%)
Scales the image dimensions. It is useful when you need a smaller PNG, but lower values reduce resolution and cannot be undone except by moving the slider back up.
Automatic re-conversion
Moving the slider reconverts the image without pressing a button. While it works, the PNG preview shows a converting message.
Drag and drop or click to browse
Drop a .webp file on the upload area or click it to open the file picker. The picker is set to WebP files.
Manual download
Nothing downloads by itself. You click Download PNG when you are ready, and the file is saved with the original name and a .png extension.
Start over
Clears the current image, the preview and the slider, so you can convert a different file.
What can you use it for?
Editing in design software
Open a WebP you saved from a website in an editor that only supports PNG.
Logos and icons with transparency
Turn a transparent WebP logo into a PNG for slides, documents or app mockups.
Upload forms that reject WebP
Convert an image before attaching it to a form, marketplace listing or CMS that accepts PNG but not WebP.
Smaller image for an upload limit
Lower the slider to shrink the dimensions until the PNG fits the size you need.

Benefits
- Works without installing software or creating an account.
- Shows the result and its size before you download.
- Keeps transparent areas transparent.
- Lets you shrink the pixel dimensions when file size matters.
Limitations
- One file per conversion. To convert another image, use Start over.
- Files over 20 MB are rejected, and so are files that are not WebP.
- The slider changes dimensions, not compression. Values below 100% lower the resolution.
- The PNG can be larger than the original WebP, especially at 100%.
- The tool produces one still PNG. Animation is not preserved.
- Very large images are processed on the main browser thread, so the page may feel slow for a moment.
- There is no cancel button and no progress bar.
File checks
Before conversion the tool checks that the file is a WebP, by type or by the .webp extension, and that it is no larger than 20 MB. A file that fails either check is not converted, and an error message explains why.
Privacy
The file you choose is read and converted by your browser. We checked the tool code and it makes no network request with your image, so the tool does not upload it. The page itself may still load site-wide scripts such as analytics or ads, which are separate from the converter.
Tips
- Keep the slider at 100% if the PNG will be edited or printed.
- If the PNG is too big, lower the slider in small steps and watch the size.
- Keep your original WebP. A PNG made from it cannot bring back detail the WebP had already lost.
- If a file is rejected, check that it really is .webp and under 20 MB.
Frequently asked questions
Is this WebP to PNG converter free?
Yes. You can use it without creating an account, and the page does not ask for an email before converting.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The converter runs in your browser, and the tool code makes no network request with your image. Site-wide scripts on the page, such as analytics, are not part of the converter.
Will the PNG keep the original resolution?
Yes, at 100% output quality the PNG has the same width and height as the WebP. Lower slider values reduce both dimensions by that percentage.
Does the quality slider compress the PNG?
No. PNG is lossless, so the slider scales the image size instead. A smaller image means fewer pixels and usually a smaller file.
Why is my PNG bigger than my WebP?
WebP is often compressed more tightly than PNG. A lossless PNG made from it can be larger, especially for photos. Lower the slider if you need a smaller file.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. Transparent areas in the WebP stay transparent in the PNG.
Can I convert several WebP files at once?
No. The tool handles one file at a time. Click Start over to load another image.
What is the maximum file size?
Each file can be up to 20 MB. Larger files are rejected with an error message.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs in the browser, so it can be used on phones and tablets as well as computers. Very large images may be slower on older devices.
